Toward Rufus Scrimgeour, the Head of the Auror Office, Albert felt neither aversion nor fondness. To him, the man was simply a stranger—a stranger who might come in handy later on, and nothing more.
Because Albert, a cheat-using time-traveler, had appeared in this world, the original timeline had already been thrown into disarray. Goodness knows how things would develop from here on out. Even though Albert possessed prophetic abilities, he didn't dare rely too heavily on those prophecies; he preferred to take precautions early and leave himself plenty of leeway so he wouldn't be caught off guard by sudden developments.
